There's a backport of signature API to Python 2. Although last time I checked it was fairly outdated.

I wrote a backport earlier this year: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/inspect2.

Nice.

Yury was probably referring to https://funcsigs.readthedocs.io/, which is a partial backport specifically of inspect.Signature and friends.

Either way, the answer to Christian's original question is that "Yes, supporting signature is also useful in Python 2.x", as even though the native inspect module doesn't support it, 3rd party backports do.

Cheers, Nick.
